Remember that the Qdigestive
organs of horses at work are not SO
responsive as when idle. Occurrences
of collie and other ailments incid ent to
horses in the season of work is usually
traceable to the lack of time given for
digestion. The stomach is in no con-
dition to receive food Immediately after
severe exertion, hence the necessity of
q short season of rest before giving a
horse any food. A little care in the
matter of watering and feeding horses
will prevent much sickness and con-
sequent loss. CtereLdnd Leader.
